Default help kitchen cooker wiring

Just bought a new electric single oven + Gas hob with 'mains spark',
and require some advice as to cable sizing etc.

(This is to be a totaly new circuit as only had gas cooker previously)
Practical side shouldn't be a problem as have wired additional
sockets, extended ring mains etc before.

Information from oven instructions.
2.15KW
Connection Via
13amp Socket outlet/spur box min 13amp fuse +
(2.5mm2 3core butyl insulated cable)
or
cooker control circuit 20amp fuse +
(2.5mm2 pvc/pvc T&E)
Must have dipole switch fitted.

Hob comes supplied with cable and 13A plug.

Mains cable run will be aproximatly 5m, mainly though ceiling, then
chased into wall.

Would the following be OK?

Starting at the CU
1. 32A Mcb
2. 6mm2 T&E
3. 20A DP Switch (within 2m of unit)
4. 6mm2 T&E
5. 13A Double socket(unswitched - (labeled specifically to say cooker
circuit?))
6. butyl insulated cable + 13amp plug to oven unit

This would also allow the hob to be plugged in.


Any additional advice/comments welcome.
